If Floyd was white, the charges against Chauvin would have been dismissed...

Not much basis of an appeal. This has been news for quite some time. Hard to taint this jury pool, jury, etc.

Me thinks, the video was strong evidence, no matter what race!

$27 MILLION, just before the case went to trial is pretty "tainting"...

And all appeals will be STRONGLY DENIED.

My problem is with the people that use tragedies like this as an excuse to loot and steal.

Are you going to tell me this does not happen?

When people realize Chauvin has been sentenced to 12 1/2 years, there will be more riots, looting, and burning. That is, if he isn’t killed in jail before sentencing. I don’t know a single conservative who believes he is innocent or that his use of force was appropriate. However, rioting, looting, burning, throwing things at police officers, and screaming and shouting are NOT “peaceful assembly,” and they should be appropriately punished, too.

If Floyd were White he’d still be alive.

I hope everyone responsible for their actions includes the crooks and bums in office.

If Floyd was white, he wouldn't have been killed by a white police officer.

Nine out of ten appeals are rejected by the courts. In this instance we have a nine minute video that was seen by the whole world, showing how Chauvin killed Floyd. Of course the defense will appeal, but it will be an uphill battle.

So then we agree, arsonist, rioters and looters should pay for their actions as well as PO that go beond the law in applying what should be a legal use of force as opposed to an illegal use of force. When do the trials start for all those that committed arson, riot, burglary, grand larceny, felonious assault, criminal mischief and just about everything outlawed in the penal codes of the Sates they committed the acts, sometimes even murder.

No! “Those people” took action against their oppressor not their neighbors and local merchants.
Try again.

If you’ve been watching the news over the last 6-8 years you know that those in power are never convicted 😳

Justice is now what the mobs and media say it is
Jury’s are now meaningless since they are now threaten as to how to vote
Members of congress openly threatened the Jury
Jury’s instructed vote to convict or mob riots & violence
